Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 292 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 11

"How can they talk so much? If it weren't for the fact that our Brother Qian has worked so hard, I wouldn't have come!" Yu Shisan said, glancing at the people chatting inside.

“Then go back!” Qian Zhao glanced at him and said.

Yu Shisan was embarrassed and dared not speak, knowing he was in the wrong.

Seeing his expression, Yuanlu and Chu Yuebai both burst out laughing: "Hahaha!"

Chu Yuebai laughed so hard she almost fell over, and Qian Zhao quickly caught her, saying, "Be careful."

Her hand was near him, and Chu Yuebai casually reached out and touched his waist.

Qian Zhao paused for a moment, looked down at him, and reached out to grab her hand to stop her from moving. She smiled and didn't mind.

“The two of them haven’t seen each other for a long time, they must have a lot to talk about, let’s wait a bit longer!” Ning Yuanzhou said.

Genroku said, "Then why are you still so absent-minded?"

"How could I be absent-minded!" Ning Yuanzhou denied.

"Ning Yuanzhou, come in here for a moment!" Ren Ruyi's voice came from inside.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuanzhou stood up and walked inside, where the three of them chatted.

“Now they’re on our side, and we’re outsiders. What can’t they tell us?” Yu Shisan said.

“We’ll find out when we get back!” Qian Zhao said.

Chu Yuebai yawned, and he quickly looked at her and asked, "Sleepy?"

"A little." She said, finding a comfortable position on him and closing her eyes to rest.

Yu Shisan picked up an orange and said with a smile, "Money..."

Before he could even speak, Qian Zhao lowered his voice and said, "Quiet!"

Yu Shisan covered his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he would absolutely not speak.

Seeing his expression, Yuanlu smiled but dared not make a sound that might disturb Chu Yuebai.

At the He County Inn, watching everyone moving things, Ren Ruyi and Chu Yuebai stood together.

"Are you leaving now?" Chu Yuebai asked, arms crossed.

Ren Ruyi nodded: "The Zhu Yiwei men will arrive at Qingfeng Temple in advance after receiving the letter, waiting for me to come to them."

Upon hearing this, everyone came over, and Qian Zhao looked at Chu Yuebai.

She smiled at him, and Qian Zhao's eyes also lit up with amusement.

"Yuan Xiaolu, lend me some of your Thunderfire Bombs," Ren Ruyi said.

Yuanlu handed her a bag: "Sister Ruyi, shall I bring some people to go with you?"

“Yuanlu, don’t go. I’ll go with her!” Ning Yuanzhou said.

Ren Ruyi said, "No need, this is a feud between me and Zhu Yiwei, don't get involved."

Ning Yuanzhou said he was going to buy medicine, and Ren Ruyi had no choice but to agree.

Just as they were about to leave, Chu Yuebai stopped her, and Ren Ruyi looked at her with suspicion.

Chu Yuebai stretched out her palm, on which were two small, transparent bottles, one containing white pills and the other blue.

Everyone was curious about what it was for.

Chu Yuebai explained, "Since Ning Yuanzhou is going with you, I won't join in the fun. This is the sleeping potion for you; take the antidote beforehand."

Seeing that Ren Ruyi was about to refuse, Chu Yuebai continued, "Have you thought about what you would do if they kidnapped someone to threaten you?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Ruyi seemed to remember something, but still accepted the medicine: "Thanks, which one is the antidote?"

"The blue one is the antidote, take it. The white one is the sleeping potion, just crush it."

Ren Ruyi poured out the blue pills and swallowed them, then put the other bottle on her person.

"Sister Yuebai, even someone with profound inner strength can be captivated?" Yuanlu asked curiously.

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Of course, the medicine is very effective."

This was made by her; even people in the cultivation world can be knocked unconscious by traditional Chinese medicine for a quarter of an hour, let alone the people here who only have internal energy.

“Your bottle is made of glass, but you only use it to hold sleeping pills. How extravagant!” Yu Shisan said.

Chu Yuebai chuckled casually, "This bottle is easy to identify what's inside, so I'm too lazy to label it."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw her so confidently asserting her laziness.

Ren Ruyi smiled and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Ning Yuanzhou quickly added, "Qian Zhao, the delegation is in your hands now!"

Qian Zhao nodded: "Okay." Chu Yuebai walked over and took his hand: "We're going to have to trouble Qian Zhao again!"

He turned to look at the person and smiled slightly: "It's not hard work."

Sun Lang said, "Boss Ning, do you need me to help with all that medicine? It'll be more convenient if there are more people."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuebai covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, while Qian Zhao gave Sun Lang a disdainful look.

Yu Shisan quickly pulled Sun Lang away: "What's wrong with you? Why did you go and disturb their time alone!"

After everyone left, Chu Yuebai and Qian Zhao also went inside.

"You can also make sleeping potions?" Qian Zhao asked casually.

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Yes, I tried it because I was interested."

"I've learned a little more about you now," Qian Zhao said with a smile.

"Then you'll have to take your time to get to know him; there's still a long way to go!" Chu Yuebai said, pinching his cheek.

Qian Zhao felt helpless, realizing that she really liked pinching his cheeks, and he couldn't stop her.

"Well, I will."

"Oh, right, I also have a gift for you!" Chu Yuebai said, then put her hand into her sleeve.

Qian Zhao's eyes lit up slightly, showing some anticipation: "What is it?"

Chu Yuebai pulled out a jade pendant with exquisite carvings. It was one she had collected before, mainly because it contained a protective array.

Thinking about how Qian Zhao died later, she took it out now for him to use for self-defense.

He handed him the jade pendant and instructed him, "It's a jade pendant, you must wear it every day, not even for a single day."

Qian Zhao took it, a smile in her eyes: "Okay, I'll definitely wear it every day."

"I have to check it every day. If you forget, I'll be unhappy," Chu Yuebai said seriously.

Qian Zhao nodded and assured him, "I won't forget, and I won't make you unhappy."

"Okay, let's go in!" Chu Yuebai was satisfied.

The two walked inside, and after lunch, Qian Zhao went to get busy.

Chu Yuebai and Yang Ying sat together, teasing the birds.

"Sister Yuebai, we'll be in Anguo in a couple of days. I can't even hear the birdsong in Wuguo anymore."

Chu Yuebai took the grass, poked the little bird inside, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Yuanlu said, "Your Highness, Anguo has special carrier pigeons. You can have them call whenever you want."

“How can that be the same?” Yang Ying said, looking frustrated.

Yu Shisan pointed out that there was a local earth god temple nearby, which piqued Yang Yingcai's interest.

Thinking of the plot, Chu Yuebai stood up: "I'll go too."

“Okay, let’s go together,” Yang Ying said with a smile.

Upon arriving at the location, Chu Yuebai crossed his arms and looked around, while Yang Ying hung a belt on a tree.

Genroku asked, "What are you doing?"

"You don't understand, do you? It's a custom among young women that when their husbands or lovers aren't around, they'll take a sash and hang it on a tree to pray for blessings," Yu Shisan explained.

"So that's how it is. Thirteenth Brother knows more."
